Frequently Asked Questions
Shocks are hydraulic pump like devices that help control the impact and rebound movement of your vehicle's springs and suspension. Shocks help your car stop. New shocks or struts can help you stop up to 10 feet sooner and provide increased vehicle stability and driver control.
A shock is a stand-alone dampening device typically installed near the vehicle wheel. One end of the shock is affixed to the chassis of the vehicle and the other to the differential housing. It is a hydraulic device. A strut operates on the same hydraulic principal as a shock with the main exception being that it incorporates the vehicle’s suspension spring and spring seats as well. A strut is attached at its top to the chassis and typically to the lower control arm at its lower point.
- Fluid leaking out of the shock or strut body

- Mounts or bushings are broken or worn
